Yes, it's back to the normal content and sporadic posting now that I've finished my self-inflicted stand-in daily blogging for Jon (who should be back off his sunny, Spanish holiday today). I didn't have plans to post anything this soon, but an impromptu walk with Bitey yesterday evening left me with a load of photos to do something with (and a couple from the prom this morning, above), so here they are.
On the right, my bearded irises are about to burst into flower. Below, a tantalising glimpse of cherries to come up at the allotment. They will all be devoured by Beaky and his gluttonous family before I get a look in, of course.
Slightly past their prime bluebells on Toll's Hill
Bitey leading me through them
At the top of the hill this mummy sheep kept an eye on Bitey as we walked past.
He wasn't really interested in the lambs as they don't fit in his mouth...
Looking back to Toll's Hill...
... Skylark Field is covered in dandelion clocks (blowballs to some Americans, I believe?)
We were almost laying down to take this photo
(The Host's last sun-behind-a-dandelion-clock photo can be found here)
And that's it for now. We have a weekend of gardening jobs to do: potting up fuchsias to go on my Green Gate, sorting out the various pots in The Gardener's Retreat, and digging up bindweed at the allotment. Thrills and spills, eh?
What are you up to?
